Job 9:17 in context

Job 9:14–20

14

How much less will I answer him,

and choose my words to argue with him?

15

Though I were righteous, yet I wouldn’t answer him.

I would make supplication to my judge.

16

If I had called, and he had answered me,

yet I wouldn’t believe that he listened to my voice.

17
Selected verse

For he breaks me with a storm,

and multiplies my wounds without cause.

18

He will not allow me to catch my breath,

but fills me with bitterness.

19

If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty!

If of justice, ‘Who,’ says he, ‘will summon me?’

20

Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me.

Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.
